    My Friend Flicka

    1 9 5 5 – 1 9 5 8 (USA)
    39 x 30 minute episodes

    This series about young Ken McLaughlin (Johnny Washbrook) and his horse Flicka was based on the 1943 movie starring Roddy McDowall.

    Set in Montana about 1900, Ken lived on the Goose Bar Ranch with his parents Rob (Gene Evans) and Nell (Anita Louise) and the ranch-hand Gus (Frank Ferguson).

    Episodes focussed on the growing relationship between Ken and the horse given to him by his father (which was intended to teach the boy responsibility) and the many adventures they had together.

    Although filmed in colour, the series was aired in black and white while on prime time due to a lack of available colour outlets on the CBS network. When the program moved to NBC’s Saturday schedule, it was broadcast in colour.

    Flicka (which means “little girl” in Swedish) was played by an Arabian horse named Wahama.
